 Sociability
Big 5 factor 'Extraversion' describes how much someone seeks out and enjoys interaction with others. We all share this personality dimension to a greater or lesser extent. Extraverts typically desire lots of interaction with others and as a result are quite outgoing and social. Introverts tend to prefer spending time alone or engaged in one-on-one in-depth discussions and are usually more socially reticent and reserved.
 Adaptability
Big 5 factor 'Conscientiousness' factor describes individuals’ approach to organizing their life and accomplishing their goals. Structured individuals are most comfortable when things are planned out in advance. They usually finish tasks before they are due and are quite organized. Adaptable individuals prefer not to make plans if they can help it and easily adapt to unexpected changes. They enjoy being involved in many projects and goals at the same time.
 Curiosity
Big 5 'Openness to Experience' factor describes the extent to which someone gravitates toward new and unusual experiences or stays with what is familiar. Novel individuals have an appetite for new ideas and approaches, prefer change to the continuation of what is, and are usually quite creative. Traditional individuals find comfort in the tried and true, focus more on the here-and-now rather than the future, and are usually quite practical.
 Interpersonal Style
Big 5 'Agreeableness' factor describes an overall attitude toward people, how you naturally relate to and interact with others. As with Sociability, we all exhibit this personality dimension, just to varying degrees. Accommodating individuals generally relate to others by being very interested and invested in their feelings and viewpoints and are likely sympathetic and cooperative. They have a knack for comforting others. Direct individuals interact in a more straight-forward manner. They have a firm grasp of their own needs and are usually interpersonally confident, competitive, and forceful.
 Temperament
Big 5 'Emotional Stability' factor describes how someone confronts and handles events or stressors that are unwelcome or cause pressure. Intense individuals are prone to feel their emotions with passion. They tend to respond to stress in an alert, attentive, or excitable way. Steady individuals seem impervious to negative stimulation. They likely respond in a calm, seemingly emotion-less manner.
